DTE Energy (DTE) to Report Q1 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
DTE Energy Company (DTE - Free Report) is set to report first-quarter 2022 results on Apr 28 before market open.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 11.70%. The company boasts a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 9.18%.
Let's take a closer look at the factors that are likely to get reflected in DTE Energy’s upcoming results.
Factors to Consider
In February 2022, the company’s service territories witnessed near-normal snowfall. This is likely to have contributed to its top-line performance in the first quarter.
However, in January and March, DTE Energy’s customers observed wet weather patterns accompanied by precipitation. Such weather pattern tends to lower electricity demand and is likely to have hampered revenue growth in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter revenues is pegged at $3.46 billion, indicating an 8.5% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
From the cost perspective, higher operating and manufacturing expenses and rate-based growth costs may have negatively impacted the bottom line of DTE Energy in the first quarter. Moreover, a snow storm took place during the first quarter, affecting the company’s service territories. This might have damaged the utility’s infrastructure, thereby pushing up its expenses. This might have hurt its quarterly earnings.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for DTE Energy’s first-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.06 per share, suggesting a 15.6% decline from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
